Hi Yang, Sorry for chiming in late on this, I think a milestone release is a great idea. One thing I would like to add is that I believe it’s about time to merge master-http into master as it would make the most sense to release the milestone out of master. One peculiarity of this is that currently master-http has disabled the github actions for the GLVs which have yet to be converted from websockets to http. In my opinion, we can merge master-http into master with these tests disabled, and they can be turned back on as additional GLVs are converted to http.
If there are no concerns with this approach, I would like to suggest that we PR master-http to master within the next few weeks.

Also, given there are no further comments or feedback, I'll assume lazy consensus for having a TP4.0 milestone release as user preview.
